Inglise leksikoloogia
is partial because these words do not take a new paradigm. They're used with definite article and a
collective meaning. Conversion is very productive because Engl is an analytical lg, the paradigms are
simple and yet conversion is not absolutely productive. Traditional conversion is registred in the
dictionaries. Occasional conv. takes place when writer wishes to be original. (nt, to brandy, to hm).
How do I know which word is the result of conversion? (nt, paper, to paper)Compare the number of
menaings of both words. Paper (noun) has several meanings but to paper has only one. So the verb has
been converted from the noun. The other option is to consult the historical dictionaries. Then later word
is converted from the earlier one.
11. Back-formation
new words are formed by taking away affixes. (nt, connection, to connect). This process is based on
analogy. Back-form is word building and it means coining verbs. (nt, butcher, to butch; sculptor, to
sculpt, television, to televise)
